This chapter is a memory from Derpy and will be in a different color. I am unsure as to how long it will be since I lost all my progress from before and had trouble with remembering every detail.

Fillydelphia: Four Years Ago

It was a nice warm sunny day in Fillydelphia and I couldn't be happier. I got a great new job a couple of weeks ago and had even put a down payment on a house. Things looked really great for me. I was shopping around for some things for the house. At about two in the afternoon I decided to stop at a nice deli for some food. I wasn't in the best neighborhood, but the food was good. I was silently enjoying my meal when a group of fairly obnoxious colts came in. There were three of them, they looked like they may have been in their early 20's, dressed in baggy coats and hats slanted in different directions. One of them, a red one, noticed me and whispered something his friends. The other two, a steel grey one and a burnt orange one, started snickering and looking over a me. They loitered around for a few minutes longer and left. A while later I got up to leave, I thanked the owner and tipped him on my way out.

I decided to continue buying things for the home. Since I had the essential furniture like a bed and a dresser I decided to get some groceries and silverware. I stopped at Gene's Clean Greens for food since they lived up to their name. It was a little more, but the taste was worth it. By this time It was nearing six and Celestia had started her ritual of lowering the Sun and raising the moon. I decided on making one for stop before heading home. A furniture store, I wanted a couch and table so I could bring guests over sometime. I picked out my couch and table, set up a delivery date and payment plan. I thanked the mare who helped me and made my way home. It was getting pretty dark out and I didn't like the neighborhood I was in, but It was the fastest way home.

I was about six streets away from my house when I heard a noise off to the right. I turned to see The same orange colt from before with his grey friend. They started to call out to me with vulgarity. They said things like "Hey Sweetness, come over here and lets have a party" and "Lemme get a taste 'o that, girl'. I tried to ignore them and began walking faster. I couldn't fly with my wings and back being weighed down by my saddle bags. They kept calling out and I kept speeding up. I rounded a corner and there I ran into the red one. He had a sick grin on his face and a fiendish look in his eyes. I turned and began to run away. I didn't get very far because I ended up cornered by the other two. They closed in on me and began to throw me around, they kicked my bags off and threw me to the ground. I tried to fight back and it didn't go as planned. I landed a kick to the red ones chest and one to they orange ones head. That only served to piss them off. I felt two legs stomp on my chest and a hard hoof crack against my head. I felt myself losing consciousness and passed out when I felt something hard and pulsating go inside me and rob me of my virginity.

I woke up behind some trash cans the next morning. I had a terrible headache and my back legs were covered in blood. I could barely walk so I tried to fly and , to my relief, my wings still worked. I went home and just laid down on my bed, and that's where I stayed for days. I didn't go to work or out to get anything for my house. I just stayed alone in the darkness, terrified that I might see those three again. I didn't eat and mostly drank water because all I ever did was cry. I went to take a shower one day and finally gathered the courage to look at myself in the mirror, and what I saw only made it worse. One of my eyes had moved on its own to the side. That's what was giving me headaches and a hard time seeing properly.

Weeks went by and I just stayed home. Bills were building up and I got a letter saying I no longer had a job. My money was running out and pretty soon I would be on the streets, alone, cold, and hungry. A few more weeks came by and an eviction notice came trough the slot I had three days to leave or I would be forcibly removed. I made my decision; Leave and try to start over somewhere far away where nopony could have possibly recognized me. I would just fly until I couldn't flap my wings anymore and that's where I would start. I packed a saddle bag with food and water that would last a week, bandaged my head over my eye so I wouldn't have to suffer the embarrassment if anypony saw it. I left in the cover of night and just headed west. I flew and flew, past forests, past mountains, and rivers. After nearly two weeks I came upon a small town called Ponyville. I decided enough was enough and landed here. And this is where I have been for the past four years. Rebuilding my life from scratch. I was lucky enough to get a job doing what I already know and I've begun to progressively open up to ponies.

"Wow, Derpy, I couldn't imagine what pain and agony those guys caused you. I mean words can only describe so much, but to actually be the one there." I said as I knelt down and hugged her tight.

"Thank you for understanding. You're the first one I've ever told that to. Everypony else just thought I decided to move to a quiet town." Derpy said.

"I promise you, if we ever see those guys again, I'll return the pain they caused you. Scum like deserve nothing put pain and death." I said.

"Thank you for the offer, but I want to put it behind me and keep moving forward. Now, lets get up and get some food, I'm starving." She said as she broke the hug.

"I think my stomach agrees with you wholeheartedly." I said as my stomach roared at the mention of food.

We got up and showered. While I was showering, Derpy started breakfast. When I got out I smelled hash browns and something with cinnamon. I made my way to the kitchen and saw a veritable buffet of scalloped potatoes, hash browns, biscuits, cinnamon buns, and various fruits laid out. We ate happily and talked about our plans for today. I had to work and Derpy had her mail route to do. We finished and cleaned up the kitchen. We left the house and Derpy called out to me I turned around and she kissed me hard and hastily. She blushed and flew off without a word.

I was walking to Brick's shop when I heard a familiar voice call out.

"Hey, Mike!" Rainbow Dash called from above.

"Hey Rainbow!" I yelled back.

She came in and landed like a pro with two large flaps to slow her decent.

"Soooo? How was last night? Huh huh?" She said with a nudge.

"If you mean with Derpy, we didn't do anything. We just went to bed, we were both worn out from partying." I said.

"Aww man, you didn't strike out did you? Bahahaha!" She laughed as she fell over.

I decided to capitalize on her current position. Lunged forward and landed on top of her, effectively pinning her down.

"No, Dash, I didn't strike out, I just didn't try anything, oh but believe me I wanted to. I have a lot of pent up energy stored right now, and I think I feel like releasing it, if you know what I mean." I said with a grin.

"Uhh, wha what are you doing?" Dash said with worry as she struggled to get out from under me.

"Do you think you can get away, Dash? I'm more than twice your size. Heheheheh." I said as I moved my face closer to hers.

"Mike, come on. Quit playing around." She said.

"Oh, but Dash, I really wanna play around with you." I said.

I kept getting closer and closer to her and she kept trying to get away. I finally got close enough to her ear and whispered, "Gotcha!" and stood up.

"The look on your face, Dash; Priceless. do you really think I would even try to do that for real? Come on I'm not some sick bastard. Sorry for scaring you though." I said.

"What? I-I-I wasn't scared!" Dash said as she jumped up and puffed up her chest.

"Oh yeah? Your heavy breathing and sweating beg to differ." I said

We continued to back and forth at each other until I realized I was going to be late for work. We parted ways and I ran to Brick's. I arrived there and took one look at the job list. This was going to be a very long day, at least 12 hours.

"Oh well, just means more money and and maybe if I get done around eight I can go take Derpy to dinner. Gettin' paid too." I muttered to myself.

A/N: I'm very sorry for this wait. I have had a lot going on with school and a death in the family. Hopefully I'll be posting more, but only time will tell. Thanks for favoriting my story and support it. Have a good day.
